As you can see from the replies there is a different interpretation of what you wanted. When you said enduro I would have suggested what WW recommended - when you say you like the look of the dommie you're in a different genre really.
What do ya want to do with it?
I spent a good deal of time looking for a cheap smaller offroad bike but they're all pretty much overpriced or in need of maintenance which can swalllow the dollars.

What do ya wanna do with it?

I do like the look of a Dommie. I like a bike I can load up and do some adv rides. Comming off DR650 was hard as it was a good versitile bike. Would get another one but budget forbids at the mo. The reason i mentioned Enduro was so it can do wee bit more then just gravel roads

That xr650l looks pretty good. Gonna watch that for shits and giggles.

Being as you said you were a fat cunt you might need something with a bit more pulling power than a 250......

95kg is light isnt it????????????

[blackdog]

Depends whether you are 5'6" or 6'5".

Pulling power of $$$ seems to impress the ladies these days, dosen't it?

+1 - if only I was back down to 95 Kg the KLR may have a chance

This Dommie? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=405188517
XR650L - great machines - like XR600's but electric start: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=404087298
Or a DR350 - no road legal ones on TM right now but they come up quite often.

I have actually seen the odd KTM 520 EXC come up for that money, but unfortunately most people have their 520 prices far over what they should be despite 520s being good bikes

Yes CRM. That is the one I was looking at. 1988 is wee bit old for one these days, but then again my budget is small too. I saw a nice 03 KTM 400 with a motar kit (road legal) for $3500, but it went pretty quickly.
Or shall I say, I took my time thinking about it.

This one only set me back about $2500 including the WP front, XR shock etc and it seems ok.
And fat cunts can ride them, they are reknown for doing epic 2 up journeys.
